Notes for BIND 9.20.21
----------------------
Security Fixes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Fix unbounded NSEC3 iterations when validating referrals to unsigned
delegations. :cve:`2026-1519`
DNSSEC-signed zones may contain high iteration-count NSEC3 records,
which prove that certain delegations are insecure. Previously, a
validating resolver encountering such a delegation processed these
iterations up to the number given, which could be a maximum of 65,535.
This has been addressed by introducing a processing limit, set at 50.
Now, if such an NSEC3 record is encountered, the delegation will be
treated as insecure.
ISC would like to thank Samy Medjahed/Ap4sh for bringing this
vulnerability to our attention. :gl:`#5708`
- Fix memory leaks in code preparing DNSSEC proofs of non-existence.
:cve:`2026-3104`
An attacker controlling a DNSSEC-signed zone could trigger a memory
leak in the logic preparing DNSSEC proofs of non-existence, by
creating more than :any:`max-records-per-type` RRSIGs for NSEC
records. These memory leaks have been fixed.
ISC would like to thank Vitaly Simonovich for bringing this
vulnerability to our attention. :gl:`#5742`
- Prevent a crash in code processing queries containing a TKEY record.
:cve:`2026-3119`
The :iscman:`named` process could terminate unexpectedly when
processing a correctly signed query containing a TKEY record. This has
been fixed.
ISC would like to thank Vitaly Simonovich for bringing this
vulnerability to our attention. :gl:`#5748`
- Fix a stack use-after-return flaw in SIG(0) handling code.
:cve:`2026-3591`
A stack use-after-return flaw in SIG(0) handling code could enable ACL
bypass and/or assertion failures in certain circumstances. This flaw
has been fixed.
ISC would like to thank Mcsky23 for bringing this vulnerability to our
attention. :gl:`#5754`
Bug Fixes
~~~~~~~~~
- Fix the handling of :namedconf:ref:`key` statements defined inside
views.
A recent change introduced in BIND 9.20.17 hardened the
:namedconf:ref:`key` name check when used in :any:`primaries`, to
immediately reject the configuration if the key was not defined
(rather than only checking whether the key name was correctly formed).
However, that change introduced a regression that prevented the use of
a :namedconf:ref:`key` defined in a view. This has now been fixed.
:gl:`#5761`
